oh christmas tree

A mom just gave me a gift card to Starbucks to thank me for picking her daughter up every week for choir practice.  She didn't need to do that because her daughter is a super sweet friend of Julia's...(and I don't usually frequent Starbucks), but there happens to be one right across from a Christmas tree lot in our local mall.  So...what better way to use my card than to enjoy a steaming cup of hot cocoa after searching in the cold wind for the perfect little real Christmas tree!!   No better way, I tell you!

 Afterwards, we stopped by Redbox & picked up a little Fantastic Mr. Fox (best George Clooney movie ever!) to watch while tree trimming...what a great girls' night in we had while Bob was at poker night!
